OK....I know the answer to this question is there is never enough. I want a sporty engine that will still hook up on the street without constantly breaking the tires loose. I have a 2016 ford GT Soto with over 400 ft lbs if tourqe and under modest acceleration it will break the tires loose.
I am rebuilding a 340 that will fit in my 1967 Barracuda fastback and have Eddy rpm alum heads, Air gap, e-street EFI, 340 cast headers running through dual 2 1/4" exhaust with a904 trans. Will shoot for 9.5-10.5:1 compression. I have upgraded the radiator and the car had original power disk brakes.
I have to select a cam and crank for the block that is at the machine house. Do I put the forged 318 crank and light connecting rods in the block or go with SCAT's 3.5" stroker. I'm afraid the stroker makes more tourqe and will overcome the smaller stock tires.
I am at +40 on the block with one cylinder sleeve due to a deep pit I did not find when I purchased the block. My question to the forum if I do nothing more than adding a traction control devise to my 8-3/4 what HP will fall under 205R14 bf Goodrich TA ability to hook up?
This is my street cruiser and I don't want to put any wider radials on the 14" stock rims or have to run or go to slicks.
